He is, however, a very imposing and intimidating character who is constantly threatening to do so. He's a "lawman" of sorts, with his own brand of justice, and often uses physical intimidation to get what he wants. He does physically restrain Everett, Pete, and Delmar at one point, but he doesn't inflict any violence on them.
The threat of violence is a key part of his character, but it's never actually shown.
